Ryan Reynolds Goes Green

Sorry, Brian Austin Green and Bradley Cooper – Ryan Reynolds is the one who will be playing the Green Lantern in an upcoming movie about the superhero.

(Justin Timberlake was also said to be in the running for the role, but that rumor has been denied.)

This is a big deal for Reynolds, who’s definitely having a moment, heck…a good summer, this year.

He appeared in the Wolverine prequel, from which he scored his own spin-off thanks to his winning turn as Deadpool, and the surprise hit The Proposal. He looked super-smoking on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s Must Issue. And now this.

Let me hear you make some noise for Reynolds!

Btw, Green Lantern is part of an intergalactic police force with which he fights baddies using a magic ring that can conjure almost anything its wearer can imagine. Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) will direct the movie, which is reportedly slated to begin shooting in January. Expect the movie to hit theaters in summer 2011.
